The thought enters my brain… Dammit! Why am I thinking about it? The feeling of anger and sadness rises in my mind, why do I do this to myself? Get your mind off of it, now! Back to what I was doing before this. What was that again?

Oh yes, sleep… clear your mind… gotta get my room cleaned, gotta make a payment to that company, want to get my shower stall retiled…

SLEEP dammit! I don’t want to think about this right now… tomorrow is another day… quiet your mind… let sleep wash over you like waves over the shore…

Gotta do this, gotta do that, can’t wait for my next day off… damn change, but wait change is good… ugh, sleep dammit, that’s all I want…

Then it comes like a thief in the night. All is quiet and peaceful. Darkness and serenity wash over my body and all is blackness. Dreams are strange and colorful, and over all too soon.

The alarm jars me awake, and it all starts again….
